I have this:
Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz CPU,
nVidia Geforce4 MX 440 AGP8x 64 MB Graphics
1 GB RAM DDR1 ( two slots, each 512 MB )
40 GB HDD
Phoenix BIOS
Few months ago, that rig had only 512 MB of RAM.I was thinking of upgrading it with more RAM, so I did.Went to a computer technician and asked for that, payed and everything was fine.I came home to test it, and bang.Horrible issues and restarts ( My computer often has capacitor issues and they need to be replaced otherwise it'd restart ) + that technician placed a different graphics with same 64 MB`s.He said if there were any issues , I should bring it back.I did so.Came back home,problems again.Screen blackouts, graphic issues ( also known as artifacts on screen ) and restarts.Sometimes if wouldn't even start.
After he tried to fix it, he just said its a dead motherboard.I took the PC and tried to fix it myself.From total blackouts, I've managed to get it to work up to 10 minutes.After that, it'll just restart again, and again and so forever.I sometimes get constant beeping POST messages, telling me my RAM is not seated well, pff.
From what I know, HDD , PSU , and CPU are completely fine ! ( Replaced the PSU and thats not the issue )
CPU used to overheat, so I applied some thermal paste and holds from 39 to 48 degrees celsius.Issue is, it won't let me run anything.Mozilla constantly crashes, and I'm getting all those run.dll and Generic Host 32 Errors.
I'll get myself another PC, but I'd like to work at least on the internet.Games are not needed. ( Or anything 3D Related )
